*Additional Information Regarding Travel
Additional notes regarding travel: Graduate students can travel to Level 1 and 2 countries (US State Department Travel Warning Levels, as well as CDC Health Notices) without any additional steps, and if they wish to travel to a Level 3 country, they need to submit a Travel Warning Waiver Petition. Graduate students want to travel to any countries classified as Level 4 by the State Department (“Do Not Travel”), they also must petition for approval. Full information on this can also be found here.
For any activites outside of the U.S. students should contact the Office of Education Abroad once all plans have been finalized.
